Why You Should Study the Old Testament

The Old Testament is about the beginning of the story of mankind, prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ, and redemption. It serves as our foundation to completely understand the Gospel and God’s plan for the world and humanity. In the Old Testament, we will find aspects of Him we’ve never known before, including His holiness, faithfulness, steadfast love, wisdom, and power.

The historical background, law, prophecy, and wisdom of the Jewish people that are revealed in the Old Testament will enrich our lives in different ways. We must trust that, since God declared that the Old Testament needs to be included in the Bible, it has significance in our lives.
